I've had my jetta a week now. Also a 1.8t. It's getting stage 1 tuned Tuesday 😆 Thank you for showing me the way! Also picked up the cts turbo intake. I have to get the low torque stage 1 until I get the dsg stage 1. But the shop that's doing it told me they will reflash it with the high torque when they install the dsg next paycheck. Can't wait to see what a difference it makes first hand. Thanks for all the awesome content man.
Enjoyed the video! Looking forward to upgrading my ride in due time!
"In two weeks I'm getting laid off.... Let's drop $1000 CAD on a car tune"... That was funny.
Yes bro!!!! I’ma get a Jetta soon as well. I can’t wait to hurt my wallet 😩😩
I want to put APR stage 2 on my passat b6 2.0 TSI! Congratulations on yours! It's cool.
Hi, Thanks for a great video, I was wondering what are the available tuning options for the 2020 VW jetta? I am getting a 1.6 6 manual trasnmission one with maybe an inch up 17inch wheel.... but other than that, I would appreciate if you could let me know other cool tuning that can be done and also give soem pointers on things that are good to know when tuning cars(my first experience, so where should I visit to get the tuning done, etc/... ). Thanks!
Hey, quick question, :) I have a 2014 VW Jetta TDI automatic Stock. I am considering a Stage 2 DPF removal. Would you say the power is noticeable? IS stage 1 better or stage 2? How much louder is the exhaust? Should I keep the original exhaust? Dealer is saying currently stock is 133HP, 225torque, if upgraded to Stage 2 163HP, 295 torque. True? Thanks for your input since you have the experience :)) Any downsides to the upgrades?
What’s the 1 year opinion on stage 1 tune? The good? And the bad?
MK6 2012 GLI 6 Speed love my baby Audi..got it for 15k at 29,999k miles..after 5 years ownership at 75k miles saved enough to do stage 1, cat back, carbon fiber intake..all APR...
Incredible experience: However, stock clutch immediately slipped 3rd gear power band.
1 month later -> Stage 2 southbend clutch. Thinking of posting a review
Same here, my car only has 50k, apr stage 2 now with downpipe, intake, and blow off valve. After a few pulls, clutch started slipping. Are rocking a stage 2 daily by Southbend or stage 2 endurance clutch system?
After you get the tune, you have to install it and bring it to a tuner?
What are the specs on your wheels?? They look so good man
What rims are you running and what are the specs?
Amazing. I did mine yesterday paired with cts turbo cai and awe tunnig catback. The cai and catback alone did something, but the stage 1 took the car to a whole different level. Definitely recommended. Stage 1 can be done alone and only a cai is recommended. Catback gets you more vrom vrom 😂
please help, 100% beginner... I know I want sound, and more power i can get for what it is. . ... I have 2019 1.4t jetta r-line 8 speed automatic. . . I have a unitronic open intake..will apr stage 1 pair with my intake?.....everything else performance wise is stock .... I know I want an exhaust too...is there a dual exit I can get that will pass emissions test in CA? . .
What order should I do it in.... exhaust or tune first?
And is a downpipe/bov and all that necessary? ...
Thanks for any info
@@andrewlupoli1567 yes. Stage 1 is ok with intake and catback. If you go turbo back ( catback + downpipe) then you need stage 2.
@@andrewlupoli1567 you can do as much as you want. Bov is not needed for stage 1 or 2. I did intake catback and stage 1 on my 2015 1.8t. Real noticeable gains came after the stage 1. Feels like a different car. Again intake is recommended with stage 1 and it gives noticeable gains when paired together. Just intake you will get some nice turbo sounds. The Downpipe helps to remove restrictions in exhaust gases flow. To optimize these new flow you need a stage 2. Catback gives you sound while removing some weight.
What engine is your Jetta? Mine is a 1.4T and im looking to get mine tuned, are there any changes i can make so my emmissions and everything economy wise to delete?
Bro what radio upgrade do you recommend for mk6?
Did you installed the downpipe and changed the air filter intake?
hey man i have a question how do i reach stage 1 for my vw jetta mine is a 2015 TSI 1.8
I got the APR Stage 1 tune for my 2003 Beetle with the 1.8t a couple months ago... huge difference even though it only makes 215 hp
How much on torque?
Willie G 247 lbft
@@GabeNydick late reply by only 215? i got the 93 octane tune and got 242 horsepower out of my jetta. (same engine) even with the 87 octane tune, you can get 223.
Sweet video I just bought a 2016 1.4L with 10k miles on it. What did this drop your MPG to?
A Neal didn’t drop at all. Unless you hammer on it, of course
Do an extra oil change, make sure good spec/brand oil. One of your best upgrades is a set of tires that excel in wet weather (everything works in dry) so you can actually stop when you slam on your brakes.
Lol I’m located in cloverdale , awesome vid. Was thinking to taking my 1.8t Jetta to RPI aswell for a ECU tune 1 & a downpipe. Extremely pricy tho
Well worth the money, pull the trigger. With the downpipe and intake you can go stage 2
hey i’m getting a volkswagen jetta trendline+ 2015 could i get a stage 1 tune
I’m getting a gli in a couple days and I can’t wait to tune it and build it
I was told I have to wait 3-6 months for my GLI. :-(
Yoo, sick Jetta man. I’m in Willoughby (Langley).. I’ve just got a 2017 Jetta and getting some bbs rims and new headlights installed in the next couple weeks. We should go for a drive or meet up with the Jettas
Im in Vancity too and also have a Jetta. 2015 TSI... I have ben thinking of getting some minor upgrades on mine sinec, well, you know, factory seems to be very tight up....
Start with an intake and wheels+ lowering
what tune did you do ?
which wheels did you fit? I own a Jetta mk6 2015 2.0tdi (europe) (facelift) and want to mount 225/40 8x18 ET45, no idea if they fit.
Nur Stichwort will fit
I have a ‘15 VW Jetta as well. I lowered it, got new head light assembly, tail light assembly, added fog lights, new rims and tires. The only thing is the power. Do you think getting a tune on an automatic will work well? Also, after getting it tuned, can you take that car back to VW for maintenance or is that frowned upon?
You can get the ECU tune, but you can’t get the TCU tune unless it’s DSG. Just keep it on the down low when you take it on for service at VW and you’ll be fine.
What wheels are those?
I'm guessing you have the 1.8 t like me.. I was wondering once you get the stage 1 apr do i need anything else for it to operate well.. or I can just get that and I'm good ?
Cody Vlado No, you don’t. Although with a 3” intake you should get an additional 10HP. Also keep in mind the clutch will need replacement soon unless you have DSG
What wheels do you have?
Nice. We need to get a car meet my guy. Im 23. But bro when i say vw jettas and passats and gli are crazy around my area i mean it would make a bimb ass video ti show off for those beamers and mercs
hey bro what you did to the suspension ?? i wanna buy some springs but im not sure how much i should drop it , any advice pls
Andy Lopez VWR springs or eibach will give a nice drop to close the fender gap
Hey Arsenio can I do this to my Hibyrd?
please do more videos on this tune not sure if I should buy 1.8t or gli
Doug Borrelli
When I get stage 2, i’ll do an update !
Is that a Comfortline ?
I have 2014 Jetta SE 1.8 , what options do I have for tuning- recommendations
Pretty much just APR or JB4. Unitronic doesn’t support the Jetta, only the golf. And the Jb4 you have to do self-coding. Which is why I chose APR
Hey bro, I got a 2015 Jetta 1.8TSI automatic, im just not sure if the APR stage 1 tune will damage my car or not but after seeing your video I'm really considering it
Nah it won’t damage anything.
What are those wheels called? Might need them for my Jetta lol
what wheels you got
Got A MK6 2016 Jetta Sport white for my first car, would you recommend this tune?
I would recommend this tune without any hesitation
what is this song called?
i have a 2018 jetta 1.8t automatic, just curious if my transmission is going to take as much of a beating as the manuals typically do.
It will fail
Regarding oil changes:
Ask the question How long should your car last?
Owners say 200-300k miles
Mfrs say until warranty expires (some), or 100k miles.
So if Manufacturer says 10k mile oil change but all the well versed car people say 5k miles or 6 months, do it more often.
Even when you "drain the oil" you never drain all the oil, and there is nasty dirty oil near your valves and in small passageways. Nothing we can do about it, put in clean oil. The solution to pollution is dilution. What would it cost to buy more VW spec oil and filter and change it? It extends life of VVT (variable valve timing). Maybe pay for an extra oil change as a performance and longer life "mod".
So I can stage 1 tune with a completely stock r line?
Erick Fraire
Yes
Just subbed. Thinking about going stage 1 soon🤔
Full send brotha
Hm was it ?
15.000km is no problem if u use god oil.
In Europe the service intervals are upp to 30.000km depending on driving conditions.
I do mine at about 12-15.000km
Liqui moly 5w30 vw504.00 spec
I have to respectfully disagree, there’s some leeway if it’s all highway km, but I’ve seen many engines fail and become premature oil burners because of these extended drain intervals
What wheels do you have on it? They look sick!
VMR V710! Thanks for watching
We’re your spark plugs stock after and before stage 1?
Rs7 plugs
What wheels are those?! 😍😍
i literally just bought one of these, and it came all stock. Would this be something I could do to mine right out of the box?
Given2Fly Yup, and id get an intake
Too
@sowavvy550 ecu? "engine computer" ?
V dub boys 👌
Did you go with the 93 octane or 91?
UsmanYZX 93
I just bought a gli mk6
I have a 2017 what year is yours?
Where you made the tune? I can’t find any place to made it!!
Go to Apr website there should be a search map for local Apr installers
Need to get this done I’ve had my 1.8 mk6.5 for 2 weeks
Wasn’t that long 😂
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 ik it’s a peppy engine stock but needs a little more power
Where to get stage 1 done in Vancouver??
RPI in Richmond
Where did you get the rims??
1010tires
i just wanna know if APR stage 1 is compatible with Non GLI jettas? i have a 2018 2.0/ DSG mk6 :
Mine is a non GLI, it’s a 1.8T. I’m not sure if they support non turbo’s though
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 yeah I was thinking to get a full rebuild with an IS 20 turbo to get the APR1, thx anyway :)
Where did you get the wheels. Very nice?
Check out my new video, I go over it
Are there stage 1 tunes from apr for 1.4tsi
Yes
Hi
I have s5 stage1 ,currently on motul 0w20 ,do you think i should change to 5w30 or 5w40 😊 ??
5W40. Drain that piss water 0W20 out, way too thin
@arsenyrazhkov4559 specs.fir my car it says 508.00,if I use motul 5w40 is that gonna be OK? Thank you for your reply 🙏
@@krzysztofmakowski2854 trust me your car will be better with 5W40
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 thank you 😊
Yo bro, you got a 1.4 or a 1.8 in this beast? This things 🔥 man!
1.8T! Thanks for watching my man
Excellent man, keep up the stuff!!
Just bought a Jetta 🥺 can’t wait for tune & intake install 😍
what’s tune like i’m new to this and lost
What your though on royal purple
Garbage
what was your jetta’s hp when purchased vs now w all the mods? looking to get a jetta as my first car and your videos have been super helpful brother 🙏🏽🤟🏽
what’s ur suspension setup
Bilstein B8 with Eibach lowering springs
What are those wheels???
Boyscouts Ent. VMR V710
Do you do your own oil changes?
Only
Is there any risks going stage 1?
Yep risk of blowing up your car and then part out
Thank you yo!! I so sick of these f’n DSG videos #3pedalsandaHgate🤙🏾
dsg sounds better
@@jakedavis5181 you misspelled “like an automatic”....I fixed it for you tho👍🏾
Any issues with the tune?
Willie G Runs like a champ. 0 issue
No hate just wondering what the point of buying the small engine Jetta and putting so much more into it to get it to the stock hp of a GLI
I can make the same, if not even more power with a CTS Big turbo kit than any gli out there, for a fraction of the cost. I also want to be different and build the car my way.
More Money to Tune with.
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 But it will never be a GLI-
You have pops and bangs? With stage 1 and straight pipe bro?
I’m not straight piped
You won`t get pops n bangs with a vw jetta tune only the GTI will because it has the variable throttle.
What brand are your wheels man 🔥🔥🔥
VMR’s
Nice tune just wish you showed the power gains a lil more on the video ..
Any clutch issues yet?
Horsepower Heaven
no, however a southbend upgrade is highly recommended
what wheels are those bro they look super clean
Answered this question in the comments many times
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 my b just admiring
Any recommendations for a Jetta base
2.0 petrol btw
Not really much you can do for power mods unless you get a proper cold air intake, that’s only a few extra HP. I’d say lower it, and put some nice looking wheels on it
1.4? Or 1.8?
1.8T
How much was it?
Jeremiah Aparri 900 CAD or 699 USD
is this the 1.4 or the 1.8
1.4
Can you burble tune a non turbo’d car..?
Depends on the car, and if there are tuning options available for it.
no
APR stage 1 is only used $299!!!
i highly prefer mazda 3 project videos those cars are so much fun to modify and drive
aymen jazouli Mazda content will not be disappearing!
VW recommends 10K oil changes to make money on repairs and new cars IMO. Even before my APR tune, I changed oil and filter every 3K (miles) and only pushed it to 5K once. It makes a big difference in longevity regardless of tuning, but if you add power, it's a must. My first car was a 2000 B5 passat and it lasted well into 200K miles due to the regular maintenance. Take care of your car and it'll take care of you!
Exactly! Well said. Glad we’re on the same page and actually take care of our cars
Also so that whenever they look at the cost of ownership statistics the long maintenance of people drives down the numbers making the car look better on paper
MK4 and MK6 are the best looking.
Hey my friend has a 2016 1.4t Jetta and wants a tune but doesn’t think it’s worth $600, what was your 0-60 before and after the tune that’s like the one thing he wants to know the most
Arber Ndreu I have the stage 1+ from unitronic. Night and day difference. I don’t recommend APR if your using the car for daily driving. The power band is all in the top end versus the unitronic it’s midrange convenient for daily driving if your not red lining every gear day in and day out go unitronic. Not bashing APR because they do have great products for racing applications, but a very high percentage here in Dallas that have APR tunes end up sending a rod towards Space X. But your choice but, into the amount of complaints people have with APR not taking responsibility for blown engines. A lil research goes a long way.
I just did a untronic stage 1 tune on my 2016 1.4tsi. Pulls really nice. It's on sale right now too. Definitely worth it.
SKYLINERAIDER08 I’ve heard the opposite, here at a local VW performance tuning shop, lots of people blow up with Unitronic as opposed to APR
By the way, about the oil change, you could not have been more worng. 5-6K km oil change is good when using mineral oil from 25 years ago. With full syntech oil, you can hit something like 10-12K KM. You should definately send your 5-6K km oil change sample to a lab and make them analyse it, asking them for how long you could have still use it. You'd be surprised.
PS : i don't know about you, but i don't know anyone who went back to any dealer to get their engine replaced when they blow it..... and if it's under warranty......well it's under warranty ! =)
PPS : you're about to hit 50K KM......Begin thinking about doing carbon cleanup on your intake valve @ about 60K
Dany Durand thanks for the comment, all my maintenance is up to date. Valves are cleaned. And I think i’ll stick with my 5-7K rule. I like to keep my engines running in tip top shape. Especially when driving them hard. That being said, BMW recommends 20k oil changes. Why do you think all the engines wear out prematurely? I don’t believe in 15-20k oil changes and I never will. 8k max under normal driving
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 My dealer used to tell me to come back every 5-7k but now started telling me to come back in 15k. It does say 15k in the manual... not sure who to believe. I guess I'll change at 7k still to be safe. I have the 1.4T 2016.
jorbjorb1 of course they will tell you that. As far as they’re concerned, long as it lasts past the warranty period it’s acceptable
@@arsenyrazhkov4559 Thanks. I'll keep changing every 7500km
Do you have coil overs or lower springs thanks!
Never mind I read the other comments but what brand do you use?
LMAO how do you go through this whole video without showing us their " calibration test record and total results from before and after?
Yeah that car never seen a tune i can tell by the acceleration and sound thats a stock car
Will this work with the 2.5L
No
Soi Boi.
It’s not even GLI bro
So?
